Retirement of Michał Kalina from moderation
« on: December 29, 2013, 01:43:38 AM »
Michał has decided to move on to greener pastures and retire from moderating on OC.Net. We (the Admins and Mods) would like to publicly thank him for his dedicated service to this community.  May he and we enjoy a blessed and fruitful 2014!

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
                           and both come out of your mouth

Quite surprising, but I'm able to imagine how it's difficult if you have other duties, and from time to time just want to not be responsible, because of a kind of fatigue.

Anyway, all the best in the new year :)

The Gospel is quite clear: both saints and sinners love God. "Religious" people do not love him, and whenever they can, they crucify him.

Of course, OC.net is not reflective of the Church, but is rather a surreal bubble. I have visited a lot of different parishes around the world and have listened to many hours of AFR...

The term planet earth is an innovation which has arisen in recent centuries with the error of heliocentrism.

If one wants to confess a pure doctrine of Orthodoxy, they should be careful not to refer to the earth as a planet, unlike the current Pope as well as Patriarch Kirill and Patriarch Bartholomew, who regularly speak in error when they refer to our planet earth.
